More cheap stuff to aid in your filmmaking this week. First up is tablet sleeves found at Dollar Tree that also come in very handy for storing thin objects like gray cards and film slates. Next, I found an inexpensive pistol prop that resembles a Glock and has a fake silencer and blowback action. It even comes with it's own sound effects! Finally a door stop which, as many people have told me, does more than just hold doors open.

With all of the craziness that takes place every year the day after Thanksgiving (though some are having sales ON Thanksgiving now), I wondered what the effect would be at the local dollar store. Would anyone camp out? Would there be any lines? What kind of smokin' deals would a store like Dollar Tree offer, if any? All good questions and I was determined to find some answers.

I recently bought a new camera, the Sony NEX 5n, which is a great deal for the money. I then needed a camera bag to shove my new toy and all of its accessories in, but as usual, did not want to pay full price. After poking around on the web, I found some very cool alternatives.
